Knowing your insurance benefit is very important. Since every insurance policy and its benefits are different, all services may not be covered in full. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance company for an explanation of your benefits.

medicaid expansion

On January 12, 2016 Governor John Bel Edwards signed an executive order to begin the process for expanding medicaid in Louisiana. Now individuals and families who in the past did not qualify for Medicaid and could not afford private health may be eligible for today. Open Health can help you sign enroll for Medicaid or a private health insurance plan through the Health Insurance Marketplace. Our service is free to you and your family. Call today and make an appointment to meet with a certified enroller. View our Medicaid Expansion Info Sheet.

Sliding fee scale

Open Health Care Clinic accepts all patients regardless of their insurance or financial status. We are a federally funded health center which in turn allows us to offer a wide range of services to patients through the sliding-fee scale.

We offer the sliding-fee scale to all income eligible uninsured or under-insured patients based on annual household income for most of our services. Income guidelines and acceptable verification for the sliding-fee scale are as listed below.

If you have any additional questions, feel free to contact us at (225) 655-OHCC(6422) during business hours.

How do I qualify?

If you wish to qualify for the sliding fee you MUST show proof of gross annual income for all immediate family members living in your household. Gross income is ALL income from ALL sources before taxes. Applicants should provide a copy of either two consecutive pay stubs, or the previous years income tax return or W-2 form.

Identification

Current LA ID or Driver’s License

Proof of residency (lease, utility bill or affidavit stating where you live)
